The Scene Where Thanasis Vengos' Life Was at Risk

Thanasis Vengos was an actor beloved by the public for his authenticity and ability to deliver laughter. He was known for two main rules in his films: avoiding romantic scenes with co-stars, out of respect for his wife, and refusing to use dubbing, even in dangerous scenes. In many of his films, Vengos performed risky stunts himself, such as falls, crashes, and crossing glass doors, putting his life in danger to achieve realism. A characteristic scene was in 'Papatrechas', where he went through a glass door, surprising and impressing his colleagues. However, his most dangerous scene was in the finale of the same film with Taygeti Basouri.
